I stopped by Mister Jim's in Chesapeake and unfortunately, my experience fell far short of…read moreexpectations. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and was told upfront that it would be about a 20-minute wait on the grill, which I was completely fine with. But after 50 minutes had passed, I finally had to go up and ask about my order. When I finally got my food, it was clear things were not handled well. The fries were made immediately and left sitting in a closed Styrofoam container the entire time my sub was cooking. By the time I received them, they were a soggy, wet pile of fries with zero crisp left. As for the sub itself, it was about 90% bread and maybe 10% actual filling. It took three hard, crusty bites before I even reached any meat--and when I did, the flavor was disappointing and lackluster. Definitely not what I expected from a place known for subs. Their "Italian dressing" is really just a ton of oil with a tiny splash of vinegar. They should just call it what it is instead of something misleading. To top it off, I had to ask someone to wipe the table before sitting because it wasn't cleaned. Overall, this visit was a miss from start to finish. Long wait, soggy fries, a flavorless sub, and unclear menu descriptions. I really hope they improve consistency and quality, because my experience did not match the reputation they seem to have

So expect a bit of a wait on some days (especially weekends). They have a very generous delivery area, which is great for anyone who doesn't have time to run in and wait for an order. The hubs likes the meatball sub. We both like the Philly (chicken or steak). I recently caught on to the fact that they have good burgers, so it's been a go-to as of late. But I also tried the Grilled Pastrami & Swiss on Rye, which is simple yet really freaking tasty (the butteriness of the rye bread is sooooo good). We sometimes share some steak fries with cheese, but we ALWAYS get a couple of cookies. They're fresh and fabulous! There's a reason this spot has been around literally my entire life. If you're a Chesapeakean, you know why. If you're new here, ya gotta go and find out why.

I was really excited to explore a new Pho place. It's a bit away from where I live but if it was…read moreyum, I wouldn't mind making this trip regularly. In the Grassfield area of Chesapeake, you will find this place near the Walmart shopping center. When you first walked in, you will be welcomed by 2 kiosk where you place your own order and pay in advance. There were 2 guys working in the kitchen so there wasn't any way to ask them questions if you had one ... ugh. After you place your order, you seat yourself and they will bring your food to you. Chicken Pho- not good! It was salty and had a very strong taste of star anise that I could not eat it!! So back to the kiosk I go. This time I got the Pad Thai. Pad Thai- the portion was plenty, like a serving size for 3 people. It was very saucy and had a very strong taste of tamarind to the point it was too sour and again not tasty at all. I wasn't going back to that kiosk and left hungry and disappointed. I saw a lot of To-Go orders on their smoothies so maybe that's what I should have gotten instead!

Parking is plentiful as it's in a strip mall, and we were able to self seat a party of 7 with no problem at all on a Saturday evening. The service was doing their best, but they definitely could use one or two more employees because the person making all the desserts (and there was a line JUST for take out dessert orders- because it's that good) was also the same one that needed to take our orders before we could sit down. I felt bad for her because she was working really hard on two very busy stations. The ambience is super casual so no need to dress up. So now lests get to the star of the show. This is the best chicken sandwich out and I'll put it up against anyone I've had anywhere. Well seasoned, tender, perfectly fried. The buns were potato bread so super soft, the sauces are fantastic and the variety of sandwiches is just enough to have a good amount of options. The fries are also delicious. À la carte so they are sold separately, but the portion makes it worth it because THEY ARE NOT STINGY! Flavor packed and great value for the cost. Last but not least the homemade custard is TOP TIER. Best I've had since i left Jersey back in the day. This place just took the top spot for chicken sandwiches for me and i can't eat to try more flavors.

A great fried chicken spot!…read more This restaurant offers a great selection for fried chicken sandwiches, lots of unique options! The fries are also good no matter how you get them. I love the selection of sauces, they really make the meal! The only negative thing about this restaurant is every time my husband gets a sandwich that comes out piping hot and my chicken tenders come out barely lukewarm. So much so we've once asked for replacements, which the staff was so great and accommodating. Very chill vibe, clean tables, and they're always playing great music. We always dine in when we stop by. The custard is also great! Love the sauces, love the sandwiches!

My kids said the pizza is better than pizza plus which is our go to near my house. My son also said it was the best turkey club he's ever had saying the bread and meat quality was great.

I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur of cannolis, having tried them all over the world, to include Italy. So trust me when I say - these are divine! We will definitely be back very soon to try their pizza, Stromboli, pasta, wings, and other delicacies!

You have quite a bit of choices that I see more than usual compared to other super markets. They have sushi that I thought was priced well, bowls, Mac n cheese, collards, roast, marinated olives, pizza and popcorn. So if you are not in the mood to cook I definitely suggest to check it out. The rest of the store is fine, but expect to pay additional $2-$3 more than other stores. I will definitely come back for the pre-made food.

I love supporting small local businesses and bonus points that it's a Puerto Rican Cafe…read more It's not a full service restaurant. It is a cafe. They have a selection of coffee options and 15-20 breakfast/brunch options to choose from on their menu. You order at the counter and they bring your items to your table. In addition to the regular menu they have a dessert case with a rotating variety of amazing desserts. We tried the carrot cake and the piña colada cake and both were EXCELLENT! (And I'm picky about carrot cake.) I saw they also have another display case for empanadas but they didn't have any in there on our visit. Another bonus is they have vegan chorizo on the menu which is a big win for my vegetarian husband. The servers were friendly and the atmosphere is a breath of fresh air. Latin music playing and clean airy decor. To sum things up... We will definitely be back!!
